When do you buy an eternity ring?

Eternity ring rings are a powerful symbol of stability and long-term love. But when is the best time to buy?

Consider These Four Key Points:

Wedding Engagement: Many people choose an eternity band to celebrate their wedding day. The beaty of multiple diamonds can be hard to resist them as a wedding ring option, especially if the engagement ring has small diamonds included along its length.

The birth of a child: Being a parent is an unforgettable experience. To commemorate this the purchase of an eternity ring is an excellent choice as a complement to wedding and engagement rings. In a sense it completes the set of engagement, wedding and childbirth

Renewal of Rights: Couples who reaffirm their vows can use the eternity ring as a commemorative piece of that special occasion, and can represent the lasting bond of love.

Special Occasions: Less popular but equally possible the eternity ring can also be used to commemorate other important events such as birthdays, anniversaries, or achievements, as an expression of gratitude and love for your spouse.

Getting Hyeji to distract Ruby for a day was easy. Saying that it was a free day and Hyeji insisting that Ruby take the time to get out of the house and have some fun was even easier with their current loneliness. She and a few of the other staff members formed a little group and the handful of them were taking Ruby to Lotte World Amusement Park then would be dragging them out for dinner and a movie. 

That left the perfect time for security, managers, and the members to sneak into the jewelry store. 

“ Hello!” An older woman, dressed in a crisp, black pinstriped suit, with her salt and pepper hair pulled up into a french twist, greeted everyone with a bow. “ The managers informed me of an important guest coming to our store and I couldn’t help myself to come and assist. My name is Nam Myung, I am the current owner of this jewelry store chain. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Woozi-ssi, and the rest of Seventeen.” 

Jihoon gave the women a bow in greeting, pulling his mask down when he stood straight. “ I’m sorry for halting business at this time, Nam-ssi.” 

“Oh, nonsense,” She smiled, warm and inviting, it reminded him of Chan's grandmother and Soonyoung’s mother. “ We’ve had celebrities come in and close the shop for a mere personal shopping spree. May I ask what you need today?”  

“ An engagement ring for my soulmate.” 

She clapped her hands together, already moving behind one of the counters and he followed to stand on the opposite side of it, along with every single member of Seventeen. Joshua was holding up his phone at this point, a call with Ruby’s grandparents already being put through, and Seungcheol was holding Jihoon’s phone, calling Jamie and Kazuki. Quiet greetings were exchanged through the phones before said phones were pushed into Jihoon’s face for his own greetings. 

“ We have many people to get approval from today?” Myung snickered, pulling out a few trays of rings of varying metals, styles, and gemstone types. 

Jihoon’s shoulders dropped, giving a small nod. “ Their grandparents, two of their friends, me, and all the guys. None of them would let me go alone.” 

“Ah~ That is just how family is.” She waved to the phones being held up before pulling a pair of thin framed glasses from her jacket pocket. “ We have a lot of ring styles and settings to choose from, if something needs to be ordered, a rush can be placed, however it will cost extra. When is the estimated proposal date?” 

He cringed, drumming his nails against the glass counter. “ Four weeks? Give or take?” 

“I’ve worked with less.” She winked, motioning towards the trays. “ Do you have any ideas of what your significant other likes?” 

“Nothing gold!” Mingyu pushed through the small crowd, letting his eyes roam over the selections before Jihoon. “ They don’t like gold.” 

Myung gave a small huff of a laugh through her nose, “ So something with a silver look, we have rhodium plated white gold that looks silver, sterling silver, and palladium. On the cheaper end, we also have platinum.” 

“They don't really like anything gold.” Jihoon added, “ Leaning more towards sterling silver or platinum, but sterling might be the best idea.”

“ Oh there are so many options.” Hearing Mimi’s voice quietly through everyone behind him. “ Much more than when I was getting married.” 

“ I think we are going to be here a while.” Joshua snickered, standing off to the side but close enough for everything to be seen. 

Jihoon took his bag off his shoulders and got his iPad out, easily pulling up different notes and pictures. “We all kinda compiled a list of everything we know they like and don’t like.” 

“Smart man. Having plenty of assistance with that must have been helpful.” She placed trays with anything gold back in the display counter, keeping the many rows of silver before Jihoon. She held out his hands to take the iPad which he handed over willingly, watching her easily scroll through.

“ Bring me closer-” Jamie’s voice was right by his ear before Seungcheol hip checked Mingyu aside and showed him the different rings. “ Wah, there are so many to pick from, how the hell-” 

“ Jamie, hush.” Kazuki scolded and while he did stay quiet, a quick look at the screen showed him pouting. 

“ Alright, nothing square for the cut, a preference for little to no diamonds, something simple. Gemstones too..” She placed the device down and ran her nails over some of the ring settings. “ Leaves us with heart, oval, circle, or pear. This is going to sound out of place, but may I see a picture of your partner?” 

“Picture- yeah.” 

Jihoon reached over and pulled up a picture from his iCloud gallery. It didn’t take long for him to find a picture of the two of them together, a sneaky mirror selfie they took when they had dragged him out to Ikea for smaller things they definitely didn’t need but Ruby insisted on getting. It was in one of those stupid bedroom set ups with way too many colors and weird decorations that Ruby joked they should buy. He only needed to stroll for a few moments to find a proper picture of them sitting on his studio couch, holding up a peace sign and giving a wide, closed mouth smile. 

“ Sometimes it helps to see the person to better give perspective and guide you towards the right pieces.” Myung roamed her eyes over Ruby, humming to herself. “ What is their name?” 

“Y/N.” 

“Everyone calls them Ruby-ah!” Seokmin bounced in. 

“ Ruby-ah?” 

“Their grandmother called them that. Their birthstone is a Ruby. Red roses were some of their favorite flowers.” Jihoon motioned to Joshua’s phone to Mimi and Papa waving through the screen. 

That had Myung searching for a specific ring, “I’ve been wanting to sell one of these since we got the design in and I think everyone here will absolutely love it.” It didn’t take long for her to lift the ring from its tray slot, the silver color glimmering under the white lights of the store. “ We can get it in a different stone setting and place a gemstone in it instead of a center diamond.” 

One of the other women behind the counter placed a velvet tray on the counter where Myung set down the ring, motioning for him to pick it up and take a look at it. Each of the members behind him were either on their tiptoes or leaning over to better see the piece she had picked out. There were some murmurs over the phones with questions, but he mainly ignored them in place of picking up the ring hesitantly. 

It was light despite the circle cut diamond in its center place and the three diamonds on each side. The metal of the ring itself was one solid piece which split into two, holding two of the three smaller diamonds before entwining back to house the third small gem. The first two clear gems were marquise shaped, reminding him of leaves on a flower’s stem while the third was round cut, topping the jewelry made ��flower’. It was unique for sure, nothing he had seen online came close to such a design, but truly none of them were thinking outside of the box. 

Truly, this ring was nearly perfect, it was almost dainty, but the diamond that was staring back at him wasn’t right. It was definitely pretty, but…it wasn’t them. It wasn’t Ruby. 

“ What do you think?” 

“The setting is nice, it does remind me of a rose or just a flower in general.” Others were pushing to see it, with Joshua and Seungcheol holding the phones close for the ones on call to know what was being discussed. 

“ But it isn’t what you are fully looking for?” He shook his head at the question. “ I have an idea.” 

Myung motioned for the same woman who gave the velvet tray to step forward, whispering something to her. Said woman hurried off but Myung refocused on him and everyone else who was looking at the sample ring. 

“ It just seems a little plain.” Minghao said, peering over the piece while Seungkwan and Seokmin examined it. “ Maybe just the center needs to be changed. The circle cut is nice but it doesn’t have any…flare to it.” 

“It needs to be more flashy but not if that makes sense.” Seungkwan added before it was passed to Soonyoung and Jun, both quietly looking over before it was once more passed along. 

When the tray made its way back towards the counter, Myung pushed her glasses up, glancing at Minghao and Seungkwan. “ I’ll have to agree with the two of you there. I have an idea for a simple change that won’t take too long to get finished. It would work perfectly for something stackable based on the ideas you had placed down.” 

It wasn’t long before the other worker came back with a metal case and a pair of long tweezers, placing them both before Myung. She was quick to take hold of the metal tool and open the case. The hinged top didn’t allow him to really see what she was looking at but he waited patiently. 

Closing his eyes for a moment, he let himself sink into the bond, taking in a breath as he poked through to what Ruby was feeling, having been focused on keeping himself level headed. The group had left with them late morning and they wouldn’t be home until later in the evening and from what he could tell, they were having fun. Excitement and amusement were prominent, he couldn’t wait to sit in bed later and hear them ramble about the adventures they were taken on throughout the day. Part of him hoped Ruby took pictures to get printed and add them to the photo books as fond memories. 

“ Ah, there it is. These old eyes aren’t as bright as they once were.” Snapping his eyes open, Myung had picked up the tray with the ring and held a shining red gemstone over it to better show him. “ Just like their nickname and birthstone, I thought that sticking with the ‘theme’ was perfectly appropriate. It’s a pear cut with a clear clarity. Gorgeous color but not too bright. It would stand out well with the silver and diamonds surrounding it.” 

Lifting the ring, she held the ruby over the center diamond, giving an approximate show of what a finished product could look like. Though it wasn’t exact with the makeshift showing, there was a silence that washed over everyone as they leaned in. All their eyes were wide, and it hit him that it was the one. 

He felt his heart skip a beat before its speed picked up. There was a moment where a few things, such simple and trivia things, passed through his mind. Ruby, standing at the kitchen counter, baking those overly sweet brownies with the ring resting around their finger. Ruby drumming their fingers against the table, waiting for food on the stove to finish simmering and the light from the kitchen hitting the gemstone just right. Ruby sitting beside him on the couch, holding his hand while they watched movies, feeling the warmed metal against his own fingers. 

“ Jihoonie?” Soonyoung’s voice from his left broke him from the small trace he placed himself. 

“ I’ve seen that look a million times.” Myung placed the ruby back in the case and set the ring in the tray, grabbing a notepad to jot down some things. “ Many times, when someone comes in and they find the one they like, they imagine what it would be like for their partner to be wearing the piece they pick out. It’s a hit or a miss. If they imagine it and it doesn’t look good, they find another, but if they imagine it and love what their imagination brings forth? It’s the one.” 

“Hyung, hyung, what do you think?” Chan’s curious voice asked beside Soonyoung, leaning over the counter with bright eyes and a wide smile. 

“ I’d like to go with the ruby design. Please.” 

Myung lifted her eyes to him, letting a gentle smile spread on her face and quickly jotted down a few more notes. “ I believe that can be arranged rather quickly.”

For the rest of the day, Jihoon felt light. With the secret meeting over and a quick lunch with the guys, Jihoon and the members split off, all heading home for the much needed rest day. 

With everyone inevitably hearing the rather costly price of the ring (5,235,987 (4,100 USD) won which he expected, not including the slight rush order), it was a very hard pact that Ruby would never find out because they would actually commit a crime. Mingyu and Soonyoung were sworn to secrecy and their self appointed keepers would be keeping a watchful eye when they were around. A lot of things needed to happen in a few short weeks now so he hoped everything would work out how he wanted. 

There was still time before Ruby would be back. It gave him plenty of time for the mindless tasks both of them had been putting off such as the laundry, reorganizing their room, and ordering groceries based on the list they compiled throughout the week. Since he had been busy the last few days and Ruby was either working or feeling too unmotivated, he used the airy headspace he had and the energy that spurred him to get things done. He wanted to at least try and pull his weight the best he could despite the time he isn’t home.

One look in the fridge also reminded him that he was lazy and wasn’t in the mood to cook so ordering take away for himself was his best bet once dinner time came. His phone was buzzing on the kitchen table behind him, having placed it down to clean off the counters. Glancing down at his watch, it was just Jamie and Kazuki messaging back and forth ideas for Jihoon to consider if he did manage to get the greenhouse garden for the proposal. Hyeji was still emailing their team, trying to figure out dates, time, maybe even a cost which was more than likely. 

He had to sit down and book the flights for their grandparents, which he checked the time, knowing it was extremely early to reach out to Mimi and Papa, seeing as they stayed up late to join in the ring escapades. Jihoon sent a quick text, asking them to message back when they woke up, hoping Ruby still wouldn’t be home so everything could get done. 

With Ruby’s (unneeded) insistence and the (unneeded) begging from Jamie and Kazuki, the two would be staying in the guest room (why they begged, he didn’t know, he already assumed that was the plan). They’d be coming a couple days before Caratland to spend time with Ruby while he was at practices, then stay for a week after for the proposal and overall spending time with their friend. Mimi and Papa would be in a hotel again, which they preferred, and most likely coming the day before Caratland and staying about the same time after as the other two. With the downtime after Caratland before practices for FML, it would work out just about perfectly from the mental timeline he had been scheming. 

Should he have been more stressed? Definitely, he honestly should be worried if something doesn’t work out, but with the meetings, help from staff, and his own time placed into everything, there were backup plans in place. Jihoon was thankful for the support that everyone had been showing him, knowing how much this means, and him being the first of the group to meet their soulmate. He also had plenty of text messages from the other members’ parents with words of congratulations and excitement. 

Ruby’s grandparents messaged when he was in the middle of eating his dinner and from Hyeji’s text, the group was still out and about after the movie, trying to find a place for dinner. 

When the call connected on his phone, laptop pulled up in front of him, he gave a wave. “Sorry, in the middle of eating.” 

“ Ah, no worries about that, we finished our breakfast a bit ago. You said you wanted to talk about dates?” 

“Mhmm, just for the flights. Caratland will be the second weekend in March, tenth through the twelfth.” Jihoon pulled up some tabs of different flights. “Would the…landing here on the eighth in the later afternoon be okay? So Ruby doesn’t suspect-” 

“ The eighth would be fine, dear!” Mimi hummed, looking at a small book in her lap from what he could see. “ And a return date?” 

“Jamie and Kazuki leave the nineteenth, I think I have their flight information so we can have you on the same flight as them. Let me just-” Reaching for his phone, Jihoon quickly added Jamie to the call, waiting for the line to answer. 

“ Hello?” The camera was facing a ceiling and the clacking of a keyboard was heard. “ I’m at work, what's up, Jihoon?”

“ Can- Hold on, Mimi.” He sighed, “ You both are still flying home the nineteenth? On the one o’clock flight?” 

“Yeah, trying to get them on the same return flight?” Jihoon nodded and Jamie hummed. “ Hi Mimi.” 

“Hi, sweetheart, how’s work?” 

“It’s going, just counting down the days until we head for Korea.” Jamie lifted the phone and he propped it against something. “ Kazu is in a meeting right now and I’m about to jump into one, I forwarded the flight details to you, Jihoon-ah.” 

“ Thanks. ” Jihoon pulled up the email once it showed up and clicked away. “Sorry, Mimi, English is hard.” 

“ No worries~ I know you are doing your best and I appreciate it. I’m grateful for the opportunity you are giving us.” 

“It’s no problem. Is Papa out?” 

“ Oh yes, he went across town to help out at a friend’s hardware store. Later on I’m going to a cross stitch meeting with some friends. Ruby is still out with friends?” 

“Yeah, they should be back within an hour or two. I wanted to book the flight before it became too late.” With him never booking a flight for himself, it left him a bit confused looking over some of the details, but with some patience he managed to get it figured out. “There are…two seats together three rows ahead of Jamie and Kazuki, middle and..aisle seats.” 

“ Those would be perfectly fine.” Mimi hummed, smiling and writing something down in the small book. “ So the eighth through the nineteenth. And you are still waiting to hear back from the garden?”

Nodding, Jihoon finalized the flight plans with their passport information they gave a few days prior before forwarding the email to both Jamie and to Mimi. “Yeah. Soon we will have the date set.” 

“ I’m sure you or Joshua will let us know in the conversation. Let us know if you need something from us for the proposal.” 

“I will, I sent everything over to you.”

“ Enjoy the rest of your dinner, sweetie, have a good night.” 

He smiled, a laugh puffing from his nose. “And good morning to you.” 

“ And Jihoon? I think Ruby is going to love the ring. It is a beautiful choice.” 

“When I can sneak away once you arrive, I’ll make sure to show it to you both. I’m picking it up in about a week.” 

“Perfect.”

You never intended to be out so late, but dinner turned into sitting and talking, which turned into drinks, which turned into more talking and having fun. It was nearing midnight when you finally got dropped off at the apartment building. It was an outing that was definitely needed and definitely appreciated with how you have been feeling. 

Jihoon hadn’t replied to your text message that you were on the way home and the lights in the apartment were off when you stepped through the door. You tried to be quiet but a few stumbles and the clattering of dropping your phone while trying to take off your shoes had your name being called out tiredly through the apartment. 

“ Sorry-” You called back, shedding your jacket and shuffling your socked feet across the floor until you reached the bedroom. 

Here, the lights were off but his laptop illuminated the room. Jihoon had pushed himself against the wall as he did every night, him saying the coolness of the wall and the warmth you brought was balanced enough. Never made much sense to you, but if he was comfortable, so be it. 

He had his face hidden behind the blanket that he curled himself up in but you could see the dark, grown out, wavy locks that he had been getting annoyed with recently for getting in his face peeking out. The room was…much cleaner than when you left this afternoon, clothes no longer littering one of the room corners, the basket of laundry was put away as well. 

With haste, you grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom, changing and getting your nighttime routine done so you didn’t feel like absolute shit in the morning. Once you returned, the laptop was closed but wasn’t moved from your side of the bed. The blanket that was once cocooning your soulmate was now opened and he was waiting for you with a lazily opened arm. 

“ Hurry up, it’s cold.” His voice was groggy and quiet, but you listened, moving his laptop to the nightstand and scooting in, letting him drop the blanket and bundle you up to his chest. 

The hand that wrapped around your waist was cold against the skin that got exposed by your shirt riding up and you shivered yet made no complaint. Unlike most days where he had you resting your head against his chest, he placed his against yours instead, settling in with a grumble. You tucked the blanket up over your shoulder, keeping in any body heat to keep Jihoon warm.

“ Sorry I woke you.” Reaching up, your carded your fingers through his hair, gently detangling any knots you found in the process. 

“ ‘S okay…” He shifted and tangled your legs today, pressing himself close to you the best he could. “ Did you have fun?” 

“I did, they said it was your idea because you’ve been busy.” 

It took him a moment to reply, his breathing coming out slowly and steadily. “ Barely…”

You continued to card your fingers in his hair, feeling him lean into your touch. The longer you played with his hair, the more it became apparent he had fallen asleep. Now that your eyes adjusted to the light, he looked peaceful, the light crease he had between his eyebrows smoothed out and the tension he typically held in his jaw was relaxed. 

Earlier in the day he went from feeling happy to feeling blissful but also enamored. You were curious as to why but let it be, simply happy that he felt so strongly and went on with the adventures the day brought with friends. 

You weren’t one for amusement parks but Lotte World was always a place you wanted to visit and you didn’t want to pass up on the opportunity. It was fun, you got to be around people you considered basic friends and was able to capture some nice moments you wanted to add to the photo book when you got a chance. 

With your eyes growing heavy, you peppered a few kisses into his hair, letting the steady rise and fall of his chest lull you to bed.

The Best Metal Choices for Women's Lab-Grown Diamond Wedding Bands

Choosing the perfect women's lab-grown diamond wedding band is an exciting and significant decision. While the diamond itself often takes center stage, the metal that holds it together plays a crucial role in both the aesthetics and durability of the ring. The metal you choose can enhance the brilliance of the lab-grown diamond and ensure that your wedding band remains beautiful and resilient for years to come. In this blog, we’ll explore the best metal choices for women's lab-grown diamond wedding bands, helping you find the perfect match for your style and lifestyle.

1. Platinum: The Ultimate in Luxury and Durability

Platinum is a top choice for many brides due to its luxurious appearance and exceptional durability. This precious metal is naturally white, which means it doesn’t require rhodium plating to maintain its color, unlike white gold. Platinum’s natural whiteness enhances the sparkle of lab-grown diamonds, making them appear even more brilliant.

Advantages:

Durability: Platinum is extremely durable and resistant to wear, making it ideal for a wedding band that will be worn daily.

Hypoallergenic: Platinum is hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

Rarity: As one of the rarest metals, platinum adds an extra layer of exclusivity to your wedding band.

Considerations:

Cost: Platinum is one of the more expensive metal options, but its durability and beauty often justify the investment.

Weight: Platinum is denser than other metals, which makes it heavier on the finger.

2. White Gold: Classic and Versatile

White gold is a popular and versatile choice for women's lab-grown diamond wedding bands. It offers a similar appearance to platinum but at a more affordable price point. White gold is typically alloyed with other metals like palladium or nickel and then plated with rhodium to achieve its bright white finish.

Advantages:

Affordability: White gold is more affordable than platinum, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious couples.

Appearance: The rhodium plating gives white gold its bright, reflective finish, which complements the sparkle of lab-grown diamonds beautifully.

Versatility: White gold pairs well with all diamond shapes and settings, offering a timeless and elegant look.

Considerations:

Maintenance: The rhodium plating on white gold may wear off over time, requiring periodic re-plating to maintain its color.

Allergies: White gold that is alloyed with nickel can cause allergic reactions in some people, so it’s important to check the metal composition.

3. Yellow Gold: Timeless and Warm

Yellow gold has been a classic choice for wedding bands for centuries. Its warm, rich hue is especially striking when paired with the brilliance of a lab-grown diamond. Yellow gold is typically alloyed with metals like copper and zinc to enhance its strength and durability.

Advantages:

Timelessness: Yellow gold never goes out of style and is a great option for those who appreciate traditional and timeless jewelry.

Low Maintenance: Yellow gold requires minimal maintenance compared to white gold, as it doesn’t require rhodium plating.

Complementary Color: The warm tones of yellow gold can create a beautiful contrast with the cool sparkle of a lab-grown diamond, making the stone stand out.

Considerations:

Softness: Pure gold is relatively soft, so higher karat gold (such as 18K or 22K) may be more prone to scratches and dents. Consider a lower karat, like 14K, for added durability.

Style Preference: Yellow gold is not as universally favored as white metals, so consider whether its distinctive color fits your personal style.

4. Rose Gold: Romantic and Unique

Rose gold has surged in popularity in recent years, beloved for its romantic and vintage-inspired look. The soft pink hue of rose gold is created by alloying gold with copper, which also makes the metal strong and durable.

Advantages:

Unique Color: Rose gold’s pink tint offers a distinctive and romantic alternative to traditional yellow or white gold, making it ideal for brides who want something unique.

Durability: The copper alloy in rose gold makes it more durable than yellow gold, making it resistant to scratches and wear.

Warmth: Rose gold’s warm tones can complement a wide range of skin tones and add a subtle, flattering glow.

Considerations:

Color Preference: While rose gold’s unique color is a selling point for many, it may not appeal to everyone. Make sure it aligns with your long-term style preferences.

Copper Sensitivity: Some people may have a sensitivity to copper, so it’s important to ensure that rose gold is comfortable for long-term wear.

5. Palladium: The Modern and Sleek Choice

Palladium is a rare and naturally white metal that is closely related to platinum. It offers a similar look and durability but at a lighter weight and lower cost. Palladium is a newer option in the wedding band market but has quickly gained popularity for its modern appeal.

Advantages:

Lightweight: Palladium is lighter than platinum, making it a comfortable choice for those who prefer a less heavy ring.

Durability: Palladium is durable and resistant to tarnishing, making it a low-maintenance option.

Naturally White: Like platinum, palladium doesn’t require rhodium plating to maintain its white color.

Considerations:

Availability: Palladium is less common than other metals, which may limit your design options or require special ordering.

Cost: While less expensive than platinum, palladium is still more costly than white or yellow gold.

Conclusion

Choosing the right metal for your women's lab-grown diamond wedding band is an essential step in creating a ring that you’ll love for a lifetime. Each metal offers its own unique advantages, from the luxury of platinum to the romantic warmth of rose gold. Consider your personal style, lifestyle, and budget when making your decision, and remember that the metal you choose will play a key role in both the beauty and durability of your wedding band.

By carefully selecting the metal that best complements your lab-grown diamond, you’ll create a wedding band that not only shines brightly but also stands the test of time.

The Ultimate Guide to Gold Wedding Rings for Men: Classic to Modern Styles

Selecting the perfect gold wedding ring is a significant decision for any man. Gold rings are timeless symbols of love and commitment, combining elegance with durability. Whether you're drawn to classic designs or modern styles, this ultimate guide will help you navigate through the options to find the perfect gold wedding ring for men.

Understanding Gold Rings

Gold rings have been cherished for centuries due to their luster, beauty, and versatility. When choosing a gold wedding ring for men, it's essential to understand the different types and purities of gold available:

Yellow Gold

The most traditional choice, yellow gold is valued for its rich, warm hue. It is pure gold mixed with alloys like copper and zinc to enhance its strength and durability.

White Gold

A modern favorite, white gold offers a sleek, sophisticated look. It is created by alloying gold with white metals such as palladium or silver, often plated with rhodium for a brilliant finish.

Rose Gold

Known for its romantic and vintage appeal, rose gold is made by mixing gold with copper, giving it a distinctive pinkish hue. It's an excellent choice for those seeking something unique.

Gold Purity

Measured in karats, with 24K being pure gold. However, pure gold is too soft for everyday wear, so it's often alloyed with other metals. Common choices for wedding rings include 18K (75% gold) and 14K (58.3% gold), offering a balance of purity and durability.

Classic Gold Wedding Rings for Men

Plain Gold Bands

The epitome of timeless elegance, plain gold bands are simple yet sophisticated. They can be found in various widths and finishes, from high polish to matte.

Carved or Etched Bands

For a touch of personality, consider gold rings with carved or etched designs. These subtle patterns add character without overwhelming the classic appeal.

Milgrain Edges

A classic design element, milgrain edges feature tiny bead-like details along the ring's borders, adding a vintage touch to a traditional gold band.

Modern Gold Wedding Rings for Men

Two-Tone Gold Rings

Combining different gold colors, such as white and yellow gold, creates a striking contrast and a contemporary look. Two-tone rings offer versatility, complementing various styles and other jewelry pieces.

Textured Gold Rings

Modern gold rings often feature unique textures, such as hammered, brushed, or sandblasted finishes. These textures add a distinctive touch and are perfect for those seeking a non-traditional look.

Inlay Designs

Inlay designs incorporate materials like wood, carbon fiber, or gemstones into the gold band. These rings blend classic and modern elements, creating a unique and personalized look.

Geometric Patterns

Geometric patterns, such as grooves, lines, or angles, offer a contemporary twist to gold wedding rings. These designs are ideal for men who appreciate modern aesthetics.

Customizing Your Gold Wedding Ring

Personalizing your gold wedding ring adds a special touch to your commitment. At WJD Exclusives, we offer various customization options, including:

Engravings

Add a meaningful date, initials, or a short message inside the band to make your ring truly unique.

Gemstone Accents

Incorporate small diamonds or other gemstones into your gold ring for added sparkle and significance.

Choosing the Right Fit

Comfort is key when selecting a wedding ring. Consider the following factors to ensure the perfect fit:

Width

Gold wedding rings for men typically range from 4mm to 8mm in width. Choose a width that feels comfortable and suits your style.

Profile

The ring's profile refers to its shape in cross-section. Common profiles include flat, domed, and beveled. Try on different profiles to find the most comfortable fit for you.

Size

Ensure your ring size is accurate. Remember that fingers can swell with heat and activity, so choose a size that fits well throughout the day.
